Thu, 07 Dec 2017 15:14:27 +0000http://doctorhakeem.com/blog/?p=2156#comment-70763Thanks for responding. Many pieces, yes. And you and your sisters and cousins and other members of our family have more pieces than I know of. We need to put as many pieces together as we can.

Thanks again for responding.

Fri, 17 Mar 2017 17:59:10 +0000http://doctorhakeem.com/blog/?p=2029#comment-62251Thank you, Clive, for your comments and, especially, for you taking the time and effort to listen to these recordings.

Your comments are excellent and indicate not only that you actually paid attention but also that — unlike 90% of Americans — you can hear. Your use of the words “rushed”, “angry”, “building”, “fighting”, “declaration”, and so forth are evidence that you are actually hearing the music. I like your “30% calm” (is it really that much?) and, as you say, “but not for long”. All excellent.

BUT — You seem to have missed the one crucial observation I’m hoping you (and others) will make. It is actually very simple. Very simple. (That’s a hint.) Perhaps you noticed it and don’t think it’s important.

So far, you are the only one to respond. I hope you are the first of, at least, several. Is it audacious of me to say so? — THIS IS IMPORTANT. (For people who want to be free. Most of our people want comfortable slavery. “Freedom is not free.”)

Fri, 17 Mar 2017 13:59:36 +0000http://doctorhakeem.com/blog/?p=2029#comment-62249The 1st piece takes clear time to build. Clear thought and time to every move or change is indicated by tempo and pauses. Reminds me of the early Warner Brothers/ Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny cartoons that always used classical music as a backdrop to support the script, especially if they chose to use no dialog.

The 2nd hits me as being rushed, almost more angry. The use of the orchestra is full and rich in completeness, very few moments to take a breath. It is 70% building and fighting and declaration. 30% calm and enjoying the fruits of one’s labor but not for long. The start of the 2nd and 3rd are also more grand in terms of announcing the supporting cast, crew, or army.

The 3rd example still implies a large supporting cast and/or army, but it is less rushed to the crescendo than the 2nd. Waves of troops as opposed to one attack.
